Rahul s elevation as Congress chief to be coronation: BJP

Shillong Dec 2 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Spokesperson Nalin Kohli said on Saturday the proposed elevation of Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi as the party President through an election is in fact a case of "coronation".

The process to elect the Congress chief was set in motion on Friday with a notification being issued.

"The election process is rigged and it is meant only to announce his promotion as party president.. It is coronation not election " he told journalists here.

Kohli also described the Congress as a "family-run enterprise".

"The BJP is a genuinely democratic party and no one came into the party only on the basis of coming from a particular family " he said.

The Congress election is likely to take place next week.
